Blindfolded Baking

Looks innocent, doesn't it?  


Pure Vanilla Extract apparently means there is vanilla extract along with Propylene Glycol  in here  

Propylene glycol (PG) is a colorless and odorless liquid chemical used for decades in a wide array of applications. A synthetic substance produced in industrial quantities, it is a relatively simple organic compound that has the chemical formula C3H8O2. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers PG as non-toxic in small amounts; however, large doses can cause seizures in humans and kidney and liver damage in animals.

Would you have expected this ingredient to be in vanilla extract?  Is it a good thing to be ingesting?

The Non-User-Friendly Vapourizer

This is the one.

The opening in the base of the apparatus is not the easiest to access if you're filling the vapourizer from a non-swan-neck faucet.

The opening is about 3 inches in diameter, not large enough for just any adult's hand to enter for cleaning and drying purposes.  A smaller hand can fit, if forced, but not without enduring scraping of the skin by the rough edge of the hard plastic.  It doesn't even empty easily if held upside down and shaken back and forth.

And yet, point #6  on the list of care instructions reads:  Clean and dry unit thoroughly prior to storage.

If you're perplexed as to how to clean and dry the unit and you think that maybe you've overlooked something in the manual, and in doubting your problem-solving skills decide to call customer service for cleaning instructions because surely they'll know..........................don't bother....they don't.


Maybe you can put it outside on a windy day and maybe it will be dry by the next time you need it........if , of course, it doesn't blow away.......but if it did blow away......maybe it would be for the best....
